Hey all, im still having trouble with the freezing issue of the Adapter on Windows 10.

I tried using this method, but sadly the computer still freezes randomly, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after a couple of hours.

If there is an updated method which works, i would be really thankful

@headcrab93 please try to install drivers from cd that you got with you Tp link WN851ND in Windows 10, first open cd then go to windows 7 folder then right click on installation set-up and go to properties then go to compatibility and run set-up in compatibility mode for windows 7 which will lead installation of drivers from cd after that you are able to use this PCI adapter on Windows 10 without any problem or freezing issue.

Do you install the latest driver? I suggest you change the PCI slot as well. And it freezes the whole computer or some just part of it such as keyboard or mouse?

@Janak Thank you. For 4 years I have tried to cure the random freezes. Atheros wifi driver, graphics driver, changing sata from ahci to eide and back. Nothing worked for long until I came across this post and your solution. Over 24 hours and no freezes.

Thank you again. 

All the best.

       *Over a week of moderate to heavy use of pc and NO freezes whatsoever! I am regarding my pc as "cured".*

       *YAY!                                                                                                                                                                   *
